Watch Killer Mike's Heartbreaking Speech Following Ferguson Verdict

FUSE TV - Watch Killer Mike's Heartbreaking Speech Following Ferguson Verdict

Last night in St. Louis, Run the Jewels took the stage shortly after news broke that police officer Darren Wilson would not be seeing a trial for shooting teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Killer Mike has voiced his despair, anger and grief about the loss of Brown's life and the charged situation unfolding in Ferguson before, and this came to a head in the impassioned speech he delivered during his set.

Instead of barreling onstage for a typical Run the Jewels performance, Killer Mike and El-P solemnly strode on and let the crowd know that, no, a normal set was not what they had in store for the evening. Read Killer Mike's thoughts below and watch the footage from their performance above, where the Atlantan rapper invokes the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and voices his fear for his young sons.
